Lyrics
1992.01.15 - Seattle, WA
Can't you hear the war cry
It's time to enlist
The people speak as one
The cattle, the crowd
Those too afraid to live
Demand a sacrifice
Demand a sacrifice
Demand a sacrifice of your life
Sacrifice
Can you smell their stinking breath
Listen to them
Chanting and gasping and
Chanting their slogans
It's a grave digger's song
Praising God and state
So the nation will live
So we all can remain as cattle
They demand a sacrifice
They demand a sacrifice
They demand a sacrifice of your life
Sacrifice
Of your life
Sacrifice (x3)
The original as it was performed by Flipper
Can´t you hear the war cry
It´s time to enlist
The people speak as one
The cattle, the crowd
Those too afraid to live
Demand a sacrifice
A sacrifice
Can´t you smell their stinking breath
Listen to them
Wheezing and gasping and
Chanting their slogans
The grave digger´s song
Demand a sacrifice
A sacrifice
Can you see the fresh blood
Steaming into the soil
As our patriots
Fathers and mothers and lovers
Admire the military style
Praising god and the state
Crying tears of pride
For the sons and lovers
For all the fools slaughtered
For the maimed, the dying
And the dead
So the nation will live
So the people will remain as cattle
Demand a sacrifice
A sacrifice
